Hi Derek,

Could you please rebase this on top of for-next placing the files under 
lenovo/ folder which we just created. I could have easily changed the 
placement of the files themselves, but making the Kconfig & Makefile 
changes into the new files while applying would have been more 
complicated. It is better you do it so I won't end up messing up anything.

There's the lenovo-target in lenovo/Makefile which will auto add the 
'lenovo-' prefix to the files so you can basically rename the files like 
this:

drivers/platform/x86/lenovo-wmi-other.c ->
drivers/platform/x86/lenovo/wmi-other.c

...and add them using that lenovo-target.
